Dealing with the death of a parent is hard enough, then add in a world pandemic, and you have total disbelief in what is happening. We were referred to Nimsgern Funeral services by a nurse who was caring for my Mom. Jamie, from the funeral home, came right to our Mom's house And with compassion and patience, walked my sister and I through all that we would need to do to lay our Mom to rest. Though we weren't able to give our Mom the funeral service that we would liked to have given her, because of the pandemic circumstances, Jamie did help us to give our Mom the best care and respect that she deserved. Though we could not have a public funeral for our Mom in their funeral home, we did go there to make the final arrangements for our Mom, and the building and facilities that they offer are very nice. The place was nicely decorated and very clean. A very nice facility to hold a funeral.

After an incredibly difficult start following our mother's passing -- including a deeply upsetting…read moreexperience with Ryan Funeral Home -- Erickson Crowley Funeral Home stepped in and gave our family exactly what we needed: compassion, clarity, and genuine care. From our very first conversation, they treated both our mother and our family with dignity and respect. Ethan responded quickly, expressed sincere condolences, and calmly guided us through what needed to happen next during a moment when we were overwhelmed and unsure. His communication was clear, honest, and deeply human -- never rushed or transactional. When Ethan brought our mother into their care, he handled everything with professionalism and sensitivity. He explained our options thoughtfully, prepared us gently for what to expect, and made sure we had the chance to say goodbye in a way that felt respectful and supported. Even when the situation required urgency, we never felt pressured -- only cared for. After what we had already gone through, this level of care meant everything. Erickson Crowley not only handled the logistics, they restored our trust during one of the most vulnerable moments a family can face. They coordinated the necessary steps, ensured paperwork and communication were handled properly, and walked us through each decision so we never felt lost. Because of their care, our mother was treated with the dignity she deserved, and our family was able to move forward with steadiness instead of additional distress. Based on our experience, if you are choosing between funeral homes in this area, I strongly encourage families to contact Erickson Crowley or Pearce first. We are deeply grateful for their compassion, professionalism, and humanity, and recommend them without hesitation. Thank you Ethan.
